Fuchsite - Bearing Quartzite in the Sargur Equivalent Rocks of North Kerala

Abstract

Fuchsite-bearing quartzite, is an important lithology of the high-grade supracrustal sequence where they constitute the extensions of Sargur Group of Karnataka in the Cannanore district, north Kerala. It occurs as interlayered bands with amphibolite, deformed gabbro and trondhjemite and this assemblage is suggested to represent a part of tectonised and metamorphosed oceanic chert and magmatic sequence.
